I just watched "Playing By Heart". This movie is awesome!It showed six couple's "problems with love".

1. The old couple had some kind of "age crisis". The lady founld awoman's picture in her husband's diary. The old man admit that thoughhe wanted to have sex with the other lady but he didn't because heloved her so much. Of course, the old lady was furious on hearingthat. Let's see the quotes, it's so funny: Hannah: And you really didn't sleep with her? Paul: No, of course not. Hannah: And - you didn't want to sleep with her. Paul: Oh, God, yes.

But as the man continued his "confession" that he never forget why heloves his wife but he could hardly remember why his wife still loveshim, and that woman remind him that he's worth loving. So though heloves the woman, he loves his wife more. And if all this go overagain, he would have made the same decision.

2. A man had just killed his own wife and son in a car accidentbecause of drunkeness. He was a failure in his career too, then hefound out the man who beat him in career was having an affair with hisformer wife. And so, another woman comforts him.

3. A wife was having an affair with a priest who loved his own wifevery much. They had great sex together, but after that they justpicked up their own staff and go. Damn cold and realistic.

4. A man lay in his death bed. He's gay. He's had AIDS. He's the lastman that lived in his circle.

5. A successful woman in the high of her life met a "to good to betrue guy". She's kind of having a problem in accepting therelationship because she thought she was not ready yet. Her ex-husbandwas gay.

6. (the best part of the movie!!!!) A party girl broke of herboyfriend and had a crush on a cool guy the day she was on the"break-off-negociation-call". But no matter how active she was, howhard she tried, it seemed having no effect on the boy. He's too cool.But it turned out the boy's former girlfriend died of AIDS, he lovedthe party girl so much that he could not afford to harm her. They hadsome very short but interesting but moving quotes, as followed:

Joan: You don't say much, do you?Keenan: Does anyone when they're with you?

Keenan: This... isn't anything. It's not anything now and it won't beanything ever.Joan: WOW. Message received, end of date.

Joan: Talking about love is like dancing about architecture.

Keenan: That's the ugliest cat I've ever seen.Joan: She's an angel.Keenan: She only has one eye.Joan: Yeah, but it's her good one.Joan: Blanche can look at you with a gaze of unflappable superioritythat springs from total detachment and disinterest... not unlike howyou're looking at me know.

Keenan: You're terrific, sensational really, but I'm not right for you.

Joan: You can't treat people the way you treat them and then saysomething adorable like that.

Joan: The lad doesn't say much and when he does, he finds just theright words to crush my soul.

Joan: No, no, STOP. I've waited my entire life for somebody that Icared about to tell me they loved me and if you think you're gettingout of this car now, you're INSANE.

Keenan: I can't stop thinking about you.Joan: I love conversations that start with the guy saying "I can'tstop thinking about you." Mind you I've never actually been on thereceiving end of any of those conversations...Keenan: Just looking at you makes me happy.Joan: I have - I have to sit down.[almost knocks over the chair sitting down]Keenan: When we're together, whether or not I show it, I just can'twait to hear the next words out of your mouth. But right now I need toask you to do something for me.Joan: Anything.Keenan: Shut up.

Keenan: What did I ever do to deserve you?Joan: Usually that line is screamed at me by someone running out thedoor, not by someone standing in front of me and staying. It makes fora nice change.
